Rice, Rice, baby

Great "pub" for THIRD year Coach Kev for getting UNLV its first post season win in 16 YEARS, something that Rice could never do in his 4 plus yrs at UNLV.

Read them and weep:
2011 -12 - zero post season wins
2012- 13 - zero post season wins
2013-14 - failed to make post season
2014-15 - failed to make post season
2015-16 - Fired MID SEASON

Better PG..Lady Rebels Kiara Jackson vs DEDAN Thomas Jr?

We at Rebel Land have had a great year when it comes to Point guards. As a matter of fact, it can be argued that this is a best year EVER when it comes to point guards at UNLV for their respective teams.

So, the question is..who’s the better PG?

Up we have the Lady Rebels Kiara Jackson. She is a solid passer, looks to make the play, runs the ball, attacks and penetrates on offense. Great size!!!

And for the men, we have DTJ. He actually skipped a year to play for the Rebels. Solid ball handler. Good “possession” PG. you won’t see a lot of turnovers. Super high IQ.

Yes, this is like picking between your children as a Rebel.

Pick one and only one…

Both have a solid future at UNLV if they don’t get poached

CFP and realignment

Thought I'd share the thoughts I posted on my board. And good luck in the NIT. Looks like my Cougs may win one in the NCAA's. And recognizing the dumb rumor that the Pac-2 is going to offer to absorb 5 MW schools to be determined.

With the tourney finally here, the 10-keys should be able to start clicking. Here's the all-knowing analysis:
  • First off, after the tourney, we can assess our March madness 6-year distribution monies. If someone is at HQ that can count. And answer some questions - how does the Pac-2 preserve that payout between the 2 of us? Is maintaining the conference necessary (I assume yes). This may not be CFP money, but it is significant
  • Right behind, what is left in the P-2 coffers after sharing revenue/expense this year? 10 Million? 100 million? Don't give any (more) of it to anyone
  • The crappy deal the G5 is going to get in the CFP is better than the pittance that they have penciled in for WSU and OSU. OK, so how would the new Pac-12/14 distribution fit in? Gotta assume that we can be the top-ranked G5 conference after reverse merger and get that CFP berth. Don't fiddly-f around for too long. We are dead as a P5 conference. Deal with it
  • Reverse merger. Pac-2 schools keep all of their earned BB distributions. Mt West mergees keep all of theirs. We share proportionally in distributions earned in future seasons. Math should be easy. MW, with 6 teams in the tourney, will get a nice chunk of change to keep along with that from previous years
  • What about this WCC affair? Do we get a 6-year payout of next year's pro-rata tourney revenues? Fun conversation there
  • Who joins? IMHO, up to the MT West. Do they bring 10 or all 11/12 (Hawaii being the 12th oddball). We need at least 12 total. Leaves room for future additions
  • Quit wet dreaming about the ACC. F-the Big-12. They are already 2nd class citizens
  • Buckle our belts, use OUR money prudently, and move forward as a West Coast/Mountain conference. F flying cross country. F some hair-brained "pod" scenario

Aztecs

They have culture to win, I said few years ago, I want UNLV to become them. Runnin is over, we walk, Aztecs know who they our, and the only MWC moving too 2nd round NCAA. I consider them a top 4 program in the west and top 25 in nation, are they really good no, to me they believe and know how to win, tough gritty team.

MWC proves Aztecs and the rest are just NET warriors, it's that simple, F Reno.

Shift in the rumor mills

Around these parts, it’s usually it’s whether a coach is going to be gone or if he’s ok …

The rumor mills are going to be full tilt with players and NLI, poaching, etc. And they’ll be non stop. Guesses will be merely that, for the most part. Lots of people are going to hear lots of things. I’m talking beyond media and in the know fans … As a caution, some will be intentionally planted false info … you know, games played to drive up value. There’s going to be a ton of disinformation with heavy intention. And there will be some truths. And I think it’s going to be very difficult to figure out which is which …. So I’m not hanging my hat on crap right now because I can’t be sure. With typical recruiting, not saying it’s easy … but it’s certainly easier. With NLI … whole different ballgame.

As you might expect … word is heavy, heavy money offered to our best player. But maybe it’s not and it’ll be used to show a supreme loyalty. Or maybe it drives up what UNLV might need to keep (we lost Maiava bat way) …. Maybe it’s real and we can’t match. I don’t trust a lot of the info - it’s not that I don’t trust the people I’m getting info from, I do, they’ve been rock solid. But the actual info could be erroneous from the start. Usually with recruiting, I get far more details and am able to verify to be sure it’s the best info I can get. With NLI, it’s just totally different.
